Biography
I am currently a Leverhulme Trust and Isaac Newton Trust Early Career Fellow at the Faculty of Classics (2020-) and Bye-Fellow at Christ's College, Cambridge. I completed my BA (2015) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and MSt (2016) and DPhil (2020) at Merton College, Oxford before moving to Cambridge.
Research
My research at present is focused on Greek and Latin lyric poetry, metre, and papyrology, particularly from literary, cognitive, historical, and social perspectives. Research interests include early Greek poetry more broadly, archaic Greek history, religion, and drama.
My current project aims to provide, for the first time, a history of literary associations of Greek and Latin lyric metres from the 7th century BCE to the 2nd century CE and to re-examine the relationship between metre and genre.
I am also completing my book, ‘Poetry and Performance in Alcaeus of Lesbos’ (forthcoming with Oxford University Press), which offers fresh approaches to Alcaeus and a new text and apparatus of fragments edited from autopsy of papyri alongside textual and interpretative essays of the fragments.
